tbh the Democrats would have a better anti-wall claim if they took a Manifest Destiny platform
"You can't build a wall on the Mexican border, because that's going to be American territory soon!"
nope

That's what it was before the UK panicked after the American Civil War and created what is now Canada in a bid to try to deny the US that territory
It was a combination of how much aid the British gave to the then recently-defeated CSA, the Fenian Raids, the Annexation Bill of 1866, and the Alaska purchase in 1867 that caused the creation of the Dominion of Canada in 1867
Well my ex, and 5 of my God children live there
so imagine my interest
Loyalists, the lot of them.
I care not
I care plenty, given that Canada has, for most of American history, been our gravest threat of land invasion by a competent power
that power in this case being the British Empire
There's a reason War Plan Red focuses so much on taking the place over first and foremost
we are so small, but you still fear us
We did in the 1920's when the British empire was at its zenith
After WWII, though? There's a reason the US and USSR agreed to the idea that the UK should decolonize.
Is there?
Yeah, we both ideologically opposed such monarchial empires, and the US had the added bonus of no longer being threatened by its oldest rival.
My wife was born in Hong Kong
Happiest day of my life
The shot of the British Union Jack being lowered makes for pretty good fapping material tbh
My Nepali Wife was born on British soil
I'd praised the Lord
I thanked God
It was a gift
It was everything
Which bit of British soil, the bit the UK still has or one of the bits the UK lost in or after the Cold War?
She was born in Hong Kong
and the Gurkas
were stationed there
Ah, right
born on British soil
what happens if you were born on the day Britain gave up Hong kong?
would you still have Britain citizenship?
you are Chinese
ahh
The US had this funny instance of a region be under Spanish rule, German rule, Japanese rule, briefly American rule, and then independent all in one lifetime, and then while independent, basically fight the UN tooth and nail to get officially annexed by the US, in 1986
